Is it worth pointing out the use of technology anymore?

What happens when a prolific author integrates AI into their work so much that it turns up wholesale in their writing? Seth Godin—said prolific author—recently posted an argument for hiring freelancers instead of using technology on his blog. While I agree with his message I paused when I began the fourth paragraph which starts with a telltale sign of AI writing.

Here's the thing: nobody writes like this, only the robots. Now, I'm sure there are folks out there who do but it is now so prevalent that it stands out like a statement on a back of a consumer product: Made by AI.

It's not the making with the robots that I mind but the laziness of using the output wholesale. I use AI all the time to help with editing because I'm a horrible speller and sometimes my sentences don't always make sense. And even so, it still feels like a losing battle. How long has spell and grammar check been a feature of desktop publishing and I'm still hacking and slashing English like I'm back in middle school. Now add AI's tendency to turn prose into same same, but different and that's how we end up here.

Using AI to generate what we used to craft is not going away anytime soon, but I start to question at what point does my writing—or Seth's—lose authenticity when I use AI? In the music world, Auto-Tune can make someone who can't carry a tune sound like they belong on a record. The same goes for anyone who uses Canva, which helps people design without needing an eye for composition or an instinct for type.

None of this is going away, and there will always be telltale signs of robot assistance. So, I ask you, is it worth pointing out the use of technology anymore? Where is the cutoff when a product of our imagination, skills, and talent ceases to be genuine? I know this question is not new, only the technology du jour, but the irony of it showing up in a post about why we should hire humans instead of using technology is too good to ignore.
